"So you've been looking for real. You like it with the bark still on it, doncha?
Look no further: Geoff Bartley's Put the Big Stone Down is right in the
middle of the tradition (and) classy all the way. I love it."
~ Tom Paxton (January 26, 2010)

Of the thirteen songs here, eight (three instrumentals) were written by Geoff. They range from the bluesy swagger of the title song to a journey through the night of the heart (Muscle for the Wing) to the humorous (The Cat Song). Other titles include a previously unrecorded Tom Paxton song (The Losing Part), a calypso number with social commentary (Money is King) written by The Growling Tiger of Trinidad, another gem by Boston songwriter Ed (I Fall Up) White (Nobody Cares), and a Skip James blues (Look Down the Road).

Recorded & mixed at Grant-Me-A-Reprieve Studio, Framingham, MA except Song to a
